22.11    Summary

SAP BusinessObjects BI 4.2 SP 4 introduces a new interface for the BI Launch Pad and Web Intelligence. This new interface comes in addition to the existing Web Intelligence interfaces. It includes a simplified experience that follows modern user interface standards (touch-based, intuitive, mobile, and so on), thanks to SAP Fiori, the SAP graphical library used to harmonize SAP application user interfaces.

In SAP BusinessObjects BI 4.2 SP 4, for the first release of these interfaces, only the most common features are available: navigating in the BI platform repository and viewing, refreshing, and scheduling a Web Intelligence document with some additional interactive features (all filters gathering in a single place, ranking, and sorting). For the moment, creating and editing a Web Intelligence document must still be done using the other Web Intelligence interfaces.
